Line 8:
Not all stalkers are [[Stalker With a Crush|motivated by sexual or romantic desire]]. Some are non-romantically obsessed with someone, some want a favor from someone, some [[For the Evulz|just want to stalk someone for the hell of it]], or whatever other motive.
Compare ''and'' contrast [[Stalker With a Crush]]. Contrast because it refers to motives other than having a crush on someone, and compare because it can often resemble that motive for stalking through the "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]" approach. Also, sometimes a [[Stalker Without a Crush]] can develop a crush on whoever they were stalking over time.

Line 53:
* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Burns]] goes broke because of his [[Yes Man]] underlings, and is convinced that hiring Lisa would get him back on track what with her integrity. However, Lisa refuses to work for him, because she is convinced he does not deserve to be helped. Burns, in turn, follows her around in a very stalkerish manner, begging that she take the job.
* In ''[[Danny Phantom]]'', Vlad may be a [[Stalker With a Crush]] for Maddie, but he is equally willing to spy on and learn everything possible about her son Danny, who he'd just love to have as a son himself.
* Pinkie Pie becomes this multiple times in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', but given that she's stalking her friends it's [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|fairly similar in themes]] to the stalker [[Stalker With a Crush|WITH]] a crush.
** "''Griffon The Brush-Off''" has Pinkie Pie following Rainbow Dash around a fair bit, but in a fairly cheerful way. Dash finds this slightly annoying at worst, but also amusing.
** "''Party Of One''" features a less pleasant variety when Pinkie's friends seem to be making excuses for why they aren't coming to her latest party. She puts on a "disguise" to spy on them, then Dash, who can tell it's Pinkie but not that she's trying to disguise herself, says "hi Pinkie" and then [[It Gets Worse]]; Pinkie chases Dash very aggressively and angrily, loudly asking what the real reason Dash doesn't want to come to the party is, and when Dash hides in Applejack's barn, Pinkie practically interrogates Applejack about why she's in there. {{spoiler|It turns out they were only avoiding her to throw her a surprise party and didn't want the surprise ruined.}}
